Chapter 146 - 118: The House Arrives Tomorrow? (2)

This is indeed a matter of great importance and urgency.

Let Priest Sean be responsible for this task...

Lin Lan was habitually contemplating, but Cat Girl’s question drew his attention back.

"Lord, what exactly do you want us to do?"

Yi Feng’s ears perked up and twitched lively: "Although the children have mustered the courage to sign the contract, they are all very worried about their future."

Lin Lan thought for a moment and decided to respond to this Feis matriarch with something tangible.

In Yi Feng’s puzzled gaze, the gray-haired young man leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a pure light appeared instantly in his palm.

"From now on, your work will be closely related to this."

Lin Lan opened his eyes and handed over the piece of Divine Kingdom Ash Soil.

"Such a pure Sun Blessing..."

Yi Feng took the light from the young man’s hand and murmured, her gaze entirely drawn to the blessing.

She instinctively hugged the warm stone tightly, her expression gradually becoming content, like a cat finding its favorite heat source.

"Mmm~ so warm, so warm~"

In the cold winter, nothing is more favored by the Feis People than pure warmth.

The purple-haired Cat Girl continuously rubbed her face against the warm light, her eyes narrowing in comfort.

"Lord, is this the Feis people’s work reward~"

Yi Feng hugged the stone tightly, her tail gently swaying, her voice becoming soft and lazy.

No wonder everyone wants to keep Feis People...

Watching this scene, Lin Lan sighed sincerely in his heart.

Those furry ears and tail looked both lively and soft, naturally matched with the radiant appearance of the Feis Race, undeniably appealing.

Always tempting others to come forward for a rub...

But to avoid startling the other party, Lin Lan restrained his bold thoughts.

"It’s not a reward; Sun Ash Soil is a public resource of the Ark Kingdom, and it’s something you’ll need to study in the future."

Lin Lan emphasized again: "Your reward will only be Ark Coins, which is also stated in the contract, no issue, right?"

Yi Feng nodded repeatedly, still unwilling to let go of the Ash Soil.

Lin Lan’s lips curled slightly. Who knew Feis People were surprisingly easy to satisfy, he thought perhaps Barry should craft some scratching boards from Ash Soil as work perks...

Gurgle~

At this moment, a crisp sound echoed in the room, and Yi Feng’s face instantly turned incredibly red.

After fully relaxing, she finally felt the rush of hunger.

She hadn’t eaten all day...

"Just in time, I’ve already arranged for meals for the young people."

Lin Lan stood up, his face warm and inviting, "Ms. Yi Feng, let’s talk while we eat."

·

The spacious first-floor hall had been set up with temporary tables and chairs, with mechanical servants bustling about, serving deliciously smelling food.

As service mechavers of the Era of Ideal, they naturally cook very well.

With the establishment of the free trade zone by the coastline, the citizens of Seagull City have lost their taste for the cookies produced by the Reconstructor, choosing instead to send them all east or north.

All the young Feis People’s eyes were shining.

Even while on the prosperous White Oak Main Island, they could only nibble on cheap freeze-dried fish mash due to scarce income.

Lord Lin Lan really treats us well...

Molly raised her knife and fork, under the encouraging gaze of Mentor Yi Feng, placed the never-before-tasted steak into her mouth.

Mmm! So delicious and happy!

The girl’s tail began to sway as she looked around, noticing all the Feis People were earnestly attending to the food before them.

Clearly, the young ones were famished.

The shy, young boys and girls gobbled up chunks of meat while secretly observing the Ark Leader sitting on the edge.

Lord Lin Lan is completely different from what they imagined.

Though reporters portrayed him as fierce and old in the papers, in reality, he seemed like a gentle and friendly brother.

Lin Lan didn’t engage in any dull ceremonies of crowd worship.

He simply introduced himself and then sat beside Charles and Old Dean, patiently listening to the ministers’ chatter.

"In fact, in the Southern Alliance, most Feis People never get to access crucial core technologies, and most are thrown into factories to screw nuts upon adulthood."

Charles used his knife and fork elegantly, his words as sharp as ever: "Those Demon politicians employed various means to cut off the Feis Race’s upward path, leaving no room whatsoever."

Lin Lan frowned slightly.

"Feis People are not without talent, and excel in absorbing knowledge, Lord Lin Lan,"

Old Dean put down his cup, sighing deeply: "Honestly, I’ve always struggled to understand why the Alliance, which supposedly values unity, would allow citizens to reject an entire race."

"Actually, our racial abilities have caused a lot of trouble..."

Beside him, Mentor Yi Feng drooped her ears, setting down her plate, her expression mixed with the guilt the Alliance has instilled in her: "It’s the Main Island that has been protecting us..."

"Ms. Yi Feng, do you still hear those voices on Ark Island?"

At this moment, Lin Lan interrupted her guilt.

Yi Feng froze for a moment, then shook her head honestly, "No, there are no strange voices here..."

"That’s good, it shows Ark Island is suitable for your residence then."

In Lin Lan’s eyes flashed a hint of seriousness, skipping over this topic: "It’s getting late, let’s talk in detail about the work specifics tomorrow."

He smiled amiably: "There are plenty of vacant rooms in this building, feel free to make do here tonight, your house will arrive tomorrow."

"The house arrives tomorrow?" Yi Feng was startled.

"Yes, it’ll be there tomorrow."

Lin Lan just blinked, smiling mysteriously: "In my domain, you only need to look forward to tomorrow."

·

The wonderful yet short banquet soon ended.

The night was serene.

Inside the warm room, Molly cradled her round belly, staring absent-mindedly out of the window.

"Molly, I want to live here forever."

A lazy voice suddenly came from behind her, turning, Molly saw her good friend Daisy stretching comfortably.

For the Feis People, Daisy was a little beauty with three-colored ears and tail.

"And yet on the ship, you told me you intended to find a chance to escape..."

Molly waved her tail tip in response to her friend’s chat: "Changed your mind now?"

"Who would’ve thought the newspapers were lying!"

Daisy playfully tugged her friend’s tail, giggling: "I thought we’d be locked in dark dungeons, pretty girls would be claimed by the Lord, others would work endlessly, not even getting a chance to see the sunlight..."

"Live here forever, what about your parents and the nest of siblings?"

Molly sped up her tail’s movements, eliciting Daisy to pounce.

"Of course, I’ll save up some money and find a way to bring them over!"

Daisy finally caught her friend’s tail, giving it a nibble: "Here it’s peaceful, we no longer need to wear thick hats and can even eat real meals!"

Molly was taken aback.

She recalled her mother’s heartbroken face and her father’s gaunt frame when she left, her heart wrenched tight.

Simultaneously, a strong and fervent hope and anticipation arose within Molly.

Bring my father and mother here!

Her once-confused heart was suddenly illuminated.

"Thinking about it now, if I could eat steak every day, I’d be willing to marry Lord Lin Lan!"

Daisy licked her slightly curled hand then comfortably brushed her furry ears: "By then, I might even help you along~"

"You really are a dreamer, Daisy."

Molly tilted her head: "I never realized you had this talent before..."

"Why not? I’m a Feis with three colors!"

Daisy pounced with a playful howl, and the two began a bout of playful tussling.

Molly giggled.

She had never been so excited for tomorrow.
